Add New Event Window (Devices With One Input Event)
The
Add New Event
window (for devices capable of handling one input event only) lets you specify the settings for an
input event on devices capable of handling one input event only.
Access:
You access the
Add New Event
window (for devices capable of handling one input event only) by
selecting the required device and clicking the
Add new event...
button in the
I/O Setup
window
. Note that this only
applies when the selected device is capable of handling a single input event only. Some devices are capable of
handling several input events, in which case a different window, the
Multiple Input Events
window
, will open when the
Add new event...
button is clicked.
Note:
Before you specify input events for a device, verify that sensor operation is recognized by the device. Most
devices are capable of showing this in their configuration interfaces, or via CGI script commands. Also check the
NetDVMS release note to verify that input-controlled operations are supported for the device and firmware used.
